A    NOTE    FROM    THE    STATE    SUPERINTENDENT    OF 
PUBLIC    INSTRUCTION 


The  bibliography  of  Home  Economics  prepared  by  the 
department  of  Homle  Economics  of  the  State  College  of  Wash- 
ington for  the  use  of  high  schools  of  the  state  will  be  of  definite 
service  in  unifying  the  instruction  in  this  new  field.  I  am  glad 
to  recommend  it  to  superintendents,  to  principals,  and  to 
teachers  of  the  subject.

FOREWORD 

Courses  in  Home  Economics  are  as  yet  so  new  that  the  work 
lacks  organization  and  unity.  Few  books  have  been  written 
for  use  as  texts  in  any  division  of  the  subject ;  and  none  have 
been  prepared  specially  for  class  work  of  a  definite  grade,  and 
covering  a  definite  division  of  the  subject  matter.  But,  not- 
withstanding the  lack  of  text  books,  certain  well-defined  sub- 
divisions of  the  whole  field  are  pretty  generally  accepted,  and 
courses  designed  to  correspond  thereto  are  being  taught  in  our 
high  schools  and  colleges  as  parts  of  the  general  course  in 
Home  Economics.  These  sub-divisions  are:  (1)  Nutrition,  in- 
cluding courses  in  the  Science  of  Nutrition,  in  Foods  and  Cook- 
ery, and  in  Dietetics;  (2)  Textiles,  involving  a  study  of  the 
textile  fibres,  of  clothing,  of  house  furnishing  and  equipment; 
(3)  Sanitation,  dealing  with  the  principles  of  personal  and 
public  hygiene,  and  the  practices  of  sanitary  cleanness;  (4) 
Home  Management,  involving  a  consideration  of  the  function 
and  responsibility  of  the  home-maker ;  the  distribution  of  the 
family  income;  the  purchasing  of  supplies;  the  planning  and 
serving  of  meals,  the  cost  bearing  a  definite  relation  to  the 
family  income;  the  importance,  the  methods,  the  cost  of  sani- 
tary cleanness;  home  care  of  the  sick,  etc.,  etc.  To  this  ex- 
tent there  is  organization, — that  is,  there  is  pretty  general 
agreement  as  to  the  above  sub-heads  of  the  whole  subject 
matter;  but  there  is  very  little  agreement  as  to  the  content  or 
method  of  the  separate  courses  taught  under  these  similar  titles. 

In  the  teaching  of  the  older  subjects  of  the  curriculum,  the 
organization  is  that  of  good  text  books ;  and  uniformity  of  con- 
tent is  attained  through  the  use  of  the  same  or  similar  texts. 
With  Home  Economics,  reference  books  must,  for  the  present, 
take  the  place  of  accepted  text  books.  If  organization  and 
somewhat  of  uniformity  of  content  and  instruction  are  to  be 
attained  in  this  field  also,  they  must  come  through  the  use 
of  the  same  or  similar  sources  of  subject  matter.  Hence,  lists 
of  reference  books,  suitable  for  the  use  of  high  school  or  of 

a 
285861 


college   students,    carefully   classified   and    annotated,   would 
seem  to  be  a  first  step  in  this-  direction. 

The  following  lists  (I— VI)  have  been  prepared  by  the  de- 
partment of  Home  Economics  of  the  State  College  of  Washing- 
ton for  the  use  of  the  high  schools  of  the  state.  The  classifica- 
tion is  according  to  the  grouping  already  discussed :  Food  and 
Nutrition;  Textiles,  Clothing,  and  House  Furnishing;  Sanita- 
tion; Home  Management.  Each  list  (I— IV)  includes  Books 
suggested  for  the  use  of  students,  and  for  teachers.  Books 
marked  *  are  suggested  for  students  of  the  first  and  second 
years;  books  marked  t  for  students  in  the  third  or  fourth  year 
of  the  high  school,  to  be  used  largely  as  text  books.  List  V 
suggests  books  for  supplementary  reading;  List  VI,  Government 
Publications  available  for  free  distribution.  To  these  lists  is 
added  an  outline  for  a  high  school  course  in  Home  Economics 
as  recommended  by  this  department.

This  book  is  devoted  largely  to  a  consideration  of  the 
world's  food  products — their  production,  manufacture, 
and  distribution.  It  is  well  written,  well  and  profusely 
illustrated,  and  contains  much  material  essential  to  a 
study  of  foods,  and  not  obtainable  from  any  other  single 
source.  Invaluable  for  the  high  school,  it  is  also  a  most 
interesting  book  for  home  reading — for  both  old  and 
young. 

•HUMAN  FOODS.  Harry  Snyder.  1908.  355  pp.  Macmillan,  $1.25.

The  chapters  on  the  history  of  wheat  and  on  the  milling 
of  it  will  be  found  of  value  as  supplementing  the  material

A  simple  but  comprehensive  treatment  of  physiology, 
hygiene,  and  sanitation,  which  places  the  emphasis  upon

1911.     341  pp.     Macmillan.     $1.50. 

This  book  is  recent,  accurate,  thorough,  by  far  the  most 
valuable  single  volume  on  the  subject  to  be  found  in 
English.  It  does,  however,  presuppose  some  knowledge 
of  chemistry  and  physiology.  It  treats  of  digestion, 
metabolism,  food  requirements,  dietary  standards,  and 
inorganic  food-stuffs.  References  to  other  authorities 
are  given  at  the  end  of  each  chapter. 

SANITARY  AND  APPLIED  CHEMISTRY.     E.  S.  H.  Bailey.      1906. 

332  pp.      Macmillan.      $1.40. 

This  book  was  a  pioneer  in  the  field.  Though  the 
classification  is  not  that  now  accepted,  the  book  con- 
tains considerable  valuable  material  relating  to  the  prob- 
lems of  sanitation  and  the  chemistry  of  food,  which  may 
be  used  to  supplement  Snyder's  Human  Foods  with  high 
school  students  who  have  a  knowledge  of  elementary 
chemistry. 

NUTRITIONAL     PHYSIOLOGY.       Percy   Goldthwait   Stiles.      1912. 

263  pp.     Saunders.     $1.25.

$0.60. 

Under  this  title  is  outlined  a  two-year  course  in  cookery 
for  the  grammar  school.  The  book  contains  some  good 
illustrations,  suggestions  for  the  care  of  the  house, 

8 


especially  the  kitchen,  and  many  good  recipes.  The 
science  material,  however,  is  inaccurate  in  statement  and 
unreliable.  Allowance  being  made  for  this  fact,  the  book 
will  be  of  service  in  the  seventh  and  eighth  grades. 

OUTLINES  OF  INDUSTRIAL  CHEMISTRY.      F.   H.  Thorp.      1908. 

602  pp.     Macmillan.     $4.00. 

This  is  a  technical  treatise  dealing  with  those  manu- 
factures which  involve  chemical  processes.  Since  many 
of  the  products  are  used  in  and  about  the  home,  reliable 
information  concerning  them  is  important  to  the  teacher 
and  student  of  Home  Economics,  as,  for  instance,  fuels, 
water,  salt,  soda,  oils  and  fats,  soap,  glycerine,  starch, 
dextrin  and  glucose,  cane  sugar,  vinegar.  This  book, 
though  technical,  has  been  used  to  supplement  the  regu- 
lar high  school  course  in  chemistry,  and  with  excellent 
results.
